Seed buying question

[BobWeed]

I've never bought seeds before and since my first try at growing was a success using bag seeds, I thought I'd go up a notch and get some AK47 from Joey Weed.

I'm extremely paranoid about this. It just seems that sending a letter to their PO BOX would tip off the feds here in the states and they could open my envelope to get my address on the order form. Or, they could use the return address on the seed package to know what's inside and they can bust me that way.

I don't live in a state where medical marijuana is allowed, either.

Can anyone help to relax me a bit on this? Reaper, I've read that you are very familiar with this stuff so any input you have would be great. Also, is Joey Weed's AK47 the way to go? I don't want to spend a lot but I want something easy to grow that has a good yield (if I do this right, obvously) and I really don't want something that will stink up my house, even if I'm growing in my basement.

Thanks for the help.

Gypsy Nirvana's Seed Boutique (http://www.seedboutique.com) is your anwer. They're very discreet, they carry AK-47, and I've never heard of anyone having problems from them. The prices for certain breeders are the best prices available too.

[BobWeed]

thanks for the info.

But my real concern is the part about the feds seeing what address I'm mailing to (with my address inside the envelope) and the seeds being mailed to me.

does the seed package have any return address on there at all? It just seems so easy for someone to get either busted or put on some watch list simply by having seeds mailed to you.

[Jouryokujin]

I'm not completely sure if the package has a return address. I send my seeds to a trusted friend and pick them up whenever they arrive (he opens the package to see what strains I get, so I don't get the original box it comes in). I was also worried about the feds showing up at my door, but I hear if they find out what's in your package you only get a letter from homeland security saying illegal items were being sent to your house and that they took care of it for you.

The return addy on any seed packs I've seen is simple and nondescript. If you are concerned about customs, there ARE a couple domestic seed sources that you can find if you hunt around hard enough on these forums.

[BobWeed]

Thanks, Stinky.

Have you ever used Joey Weed? Or do you think Nirvana is the way to go? I'm really looking for something stealthy here.

[romdog11]

who are these domestic seed sources stinky? where are the threads for them?

I highly recommend Hemp Depot, and Joey Weed, (as everyone is probably getting tired of hearing from me ):D ... regardless of which seedbank you use, they are all going to ship to the address you give them, naturally ... you are NOT legally responsible for something mailed to you, you have to be in possession of it, just act dumb: "what the hell could this be ?" :wtf: ... ... I've had mine sent to my home address and P.O. Box, either one, no difference ... in fact, two orders from Growshop Alien arrived, requiring me to personally sign for it ... I'm a medical user, so I'm not too concerned about it ... you either have it mailed to yourself, or someone else, but, then you have another person who knows what you're doing ... " ya plays yer cards, and ya takes yer chances " :jointsmile:

Thanks, Reaper. I was hoping you'd respond. You put my mind at ease a bit with the whole "receiving" the seeds in the mail. I'm really good at playing dumb.

so can I ask you this? Any major differences in buying the much cheaper Nirvana seeds (like AK47) over Joey Weed? I'm sure quality comes into play but I was just wondering what if you have any experience in that.

do you think I'm making a good choice? I'm looking for something that has a fast flowering time, high yield, easy to manage (I'm still a newb at this, but my first run really impressed some people), and won't get too big (I have about 4-5 feet of head space and about 3 feet wide by 5 feet long), or too smelly. I'm growing what I'm pretty sure is an NL variety and you can't really smell it unless you touch it and smell your fingers or break open a finished bud but it was very easy to grow, I just got hermies galore!

Also...I wanted to ask you or stinky. I got a lot of seeds from my last grow because a few really hermied. Believe me, it took awhile to get the seeds out after I let them dry but the weed itself is great so I'm glad I didn't throw them out. I like this strain of what I have and would like to keep using these seeds but do you think it's just not worth it? I have to figure that these seeds will probably produce more hermies.

Thanks guys.

if I'm not mistaken, I think StinkyAttic has used Nirvana strains with good success, she has a favorite called Papaya, and I think that's where she got it (I'm not sure) ... I've heard lots of favorable comments on most everyone's seeds, some deserving, some NOT :D ... high-priced strains usually reflect legal risk expenses, possibly years of successive grows for stabilization, and, yes, greed ... some of the best seeds around are still priced affordably ... word is getting around about breeders like Mandala, Joey Weed, Motarebel (retired, legal hassles), and maybe Nirvana ... I only say 'maybe', because I haven't personally grown his gear ...
your seeds are probably prone to hermaphrodite traits, but, if you really enjoyed it, go for it :thumbsup: ... nothing matters until you light it up ... :jointsmile:
P.S. ... the Northern Lights was an excellent choice :thumbsup:

It certainly doesn't look like Joey Weed is expensive. I'll be honest, I've been smoking for years and I can't remember the last time I had anything less than quality stuff, but I'm no connoisseur. I just want to buy something that is quality but most importantly, will germinate and grow well with no hermy action!..haha. Therefore, if Nirvana is cheap but I still get good seeds, then it's a no brainer for me right now.

Reaper, I read something that said you liked AK47 a lot. Does it fit what I'm looking for (I brought this up on the previous post).

thanks!

[stinkyattic]

Nirvana is a get what ya pay for kind of deal. Very inexpensive, but I would recommend the strains they sell that have been around the longest- the PPP, NL, Skunk1, Afghani, etc. The Papaya is very nice as well. Nothing super duper special but easy to grow and my friends LOVE the flavor.

Domestiv breeders, look up RushMan. He's honest and a good breeder.

[BobWeed]

awesome. Thanks, Stinky.


I really like this site, by the way. You can ask questions without the smugness you can get on other types of forums. No egos around here.

don't think it was me ... I've never grown or smoked AK-47 ... awhile back, some guy asked if he should choose Joey Weed's Cinderella 99 or Serious' AK-47, and I mentioned Joey Weed had a hybrid of the two ... maybe that's what you're thinking of ... :smokin:

Well shit. I guess I'm not being enough of a big bitch today... :jointsmile:

and I report "its wrong" fi d shop, n they said "Im sorry Well the problem was that aparentlly we have had some complain with papaya and my collegue prefer sending you a better strain and that was PURE POWER PLANT.
I'm sorry if nobody told you in advance.
If you are not happy with this strain please let me know."
and I reply this
"alright, I understood this prob happened with your KIND.
but Yes nobody told mi. also, I know what the PPP is.. However, it is regrettable that mi order was freely changead by the seller.
I am not angry for this! but plz undasatan I wanna tryin to make it fi Indica strain.

Ok, I just mailed my order to Hemp Depot's Joey Weed seeds for the NL99 cross. I decided on that after reading alot how it's so easy to grow, gives a good yield, low smell, and still a very good high - which pretty much meets my criteria.

I was really close to going with Ak47 until I heard about the smell and the potency is more than I'm really looking for. I'm like Stinky, I like nice couchlock high's and all but not to the point to where I feel paralyzed. I like to be able to get up and do things while high if I want to! Then I nearly went with Sugar Blossom but was not sure how easy that would be to grow since I'm a first timer.

I think the NL99 (Northern Lights x Cinderella 99) is perfect for new growers from what I'm reading. If this goes well, then I think I may try the Sugar Blossom.
